I suppose that's fair. Abundance of schools and majors that could suit any individual's needs. 

Now explain why a person who achieved poor grades in school deserves a scholarship.

i did not once say that. i gave an example saying that if two people were up for a scholorship, one was poor the other was rich, give the scholorship to the poor guy instead of the rich one, that way you have two people recieving education instead of one because the rich kid can afford to pay


That's exactly what you said:

now your discriminating against the poor because they dont have the same means of edjucation to recieve high grades. even if lets say that that a poor kid and rich kid are going to the same school, the rich kid is getting higher grades. who should recieve the scholorship? definatly the poor kid. the rich kid has the money to recieve an edjucation, the poor kid doesnt. this way you have two people getting edjucated instead of one

 

You made it about means rather that merit. And that is with what I fundamentally disagree.

 


i said give to the scholorship to the poor kid gets lower grades than the rich kid. i didnt say give the scholorship to somebody with poor grades. there should be a balance between means and merit, if a hard working kid with that is poor has lower grades and a rich kid with better grades are up for the scholorship then the poor kid should get it, if the scholorship isnt wasted on this kid and he will work hard on it then yes. this way more people have an education
